Button forced to miss Chicago NASCAR return in “really good car”
Jenson Button qualified eighth for the inaugural event in Chicago and finished 21st after being spun in mixed weather conditions. He is returning to full-time competition in sportscar racing in 2024, making his debut in the Daytona 24 Hours with Acura this weekend. Button mentioned that he didn’t scratch his NASCAR itch as he didn’t get the desired result and is currently occupied with TV work and other sponsor commitments. He expressed that if they still want to have him, he would consider coming back to NASCAR in the future. Button’s popularity in American motorsport paddocks increased after his Garage 56 experience at the Le Mans 24 Hours. He also stated that he is unlikely to switch from WEC to the IMSA SportsCar Championship in the near future.
